Week of raw sewage on Ventnor streets: Leak finally plugged A temporary bypass pipeline installed to stop the sewer main leak on Wellington Avenue in Ventnor City (Atlantic County Utilities Authority) Progress continues on repairs to a sewer pipe that sent raw sewage onto the streets of Ventnor City on Sunday. Installation of a bypass connection is expected to be complete by late Friday, according to the Atlantic County Utilities Authority. Once activated, it will stop the flow of sewage onto the street. Additional work will continue for as many as four weeks. “We’re focused on getting this thing solved as quickly as possible. The patch that had to be installed on a live force main came from Texas. They have to be specially fitted and designed and fabricated to fit this kind of pipe at this location,” utility spokesman Rick Dovey told New Jersey 101.5.
